I have hydronic baseboard heat and had a new oil boiler with an indirect tank installed this past spring. I have a 1600 sq ft 2 story log home with a full basement- reasonable insulation value.
I have an open flue next to the oil system (housed an ancient Kerr boiler) just asking to be populated.
So I guess with an indirect water heater, I could hook a wood fired boiler into that as my heat exchanger for DHW if it didn't come with a coil, correct?
If I don't have room for storage right now, what would be a reasonable wood fired boiler (thinking gasser) for heat and DHW, and what sort of cash are we talking for the furnace and for someone to do a soup to nuts installation? I was entertaining and EKO 40, but now I see all these options that I never heard of just a few years ago, so it's a bit confusing.
Thanks
